My daughter and I flew back from AirVenture on the last day of the show. While flying over Eastern Iowa and monitoring 122.80 we heard the following conversation that we assumed was between a couple of crop dusters:

Pilot 1: “Hey XXX did you make it to Oshkosh this year?”

Pilot 2: “Yeah, we got over there on Tuesday. The weather was perfect!”

Pilot 1: “Yeah, I was talking to YYY’ and he said he ‘had so much fun there that if he died and went to heaven it would be a lateral move!”
